Jon Sutton
English Solicitor & Partner

Jon started his career with Eagle Star Insurance Company as an accident investigator and personal injury claims negotiator. He then qualified as a solicitor in his home town, at the Manchester Metropolitan University. However, his passion of football and in particular his international travels following Manchester United, frequently brought him to Spain.

Jon developed a passion for Spain, its culture climate & architecture and he was motivated to make the move from the UK. He studied Spanish at the Instituto Cervantes, enabling him to make the professional transfer to De Cotta McKenna y Santafé where he is equity partner with responsibility for Wills, Inheritance & Probate. He specialises in Spanish Estates of UK Nationals and dealing with the conflicts of law of estates across the two jurisdictions of Spain and the UK. He also continues to use his experience in litigation and personal injury claims to assist private clients and UK law firms with claims for accidents which occur in Spain.

When not helping the English speaking community in Andalucia with their Wills and Inheritance planning, Jon still enjoys following football, films and home cinema and of course the southern Spanish lifestyle, including dining at the many restaurants that Andalucía has to offer and at the coast’s many beach Chiringuitos.
